[Bug 614375] [NEW] For the nth time, Firefox 3.6.8 froze the system forcing manual reboot

[sakusa]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

As I've reported several times before, Ubuntu's version of Firefox is
unstable, unreliable and getting to be a serious problem. Once again, as
soon as I logged into a website, FF froze, taking down Thunderbird and
the rest of the system. Had to manually remove batteries and reboot.

This kind of unreliability is not what I switched to Ubuntu for. Having
reported this problem several times and seen no improvement, I am
beginning to seriously rethink whether to stay with Ubuntu.
